Are Minors (under 19 years of age) allowed in your establishment?

That's a Yes & No answer. We operate a Liquor Primary License issued by the Government of British Columbia. This License is for serving Adults 19 years of age and over. In 2015 the Government made a change in Liquor Policy to allow a Minor to be able to enter a Liquor Primary establishment with a Parent or Legal Guardian during meal times and it's referred to as a Family Dining Endorsement. Minors may be permitted when this signage is displayed at the front entrance to the establishment. There are times where this sign WILL NOT be displayed, so it is always best to check if minors are allowed when making a reservation.

We are staying at the Summerland Resort & Spa. Can we charge to our room?

No you cannot charge directly to your room, Although we occupy the same physical property as per a Strata Arrangement, we are completely separate businesses.
